80% of Toronto's shelter space is taken up by refugees and new immigrants to Canada. Canada has a problem with letting way more people in than it can take care

  Basically, certain diasphoras have figured out how to game the system last few years, from asylum claims to getting beds at various transitional housing programs. On one hand they are taking up space previously used to shelter Canadians, on the other hand many of them do diligently work through transitional programs and make their way into Canadian society, but they're not exactly skilled labour and substantially contributing to the economy. On the third hand, my understanding is they're much easier to deal with for shelther staff.
